Sounds like you are tring to do some kind of floating point accumulator. I would just make it fixed, N bits bigger than the input there 2^N is the max number of samples you plan to integrate. If you need a floating point output, count the leading zeros to get the exponent, and left shift <<...

The idea of a &quot;high-level&quot; language like VHDL is that you don't worry much about flip-flops. You let the compiler worry about that. If you define two integer signals range (0-15) and compare them &quot;out <= A < B;&quot;, &quot;out&quot; will probably compile to a 4 bit comparator.

How about a time division mux schedule, at least for writing to RAM. Steve

A bit short of details so I will make a lot of assumptions: Assuming you want to make an asci display on a dot matrix display: You need a display memory organised, say 80 by 24 bytes. You need horizontal and vertical counters, the vertical counts the carry from horizontal. You need a character...

A flip flop is implied when stuff is defined under a rising edge clock event. I think the &quot;sync&quot; circuit you are thinking of is just two cascaded D Flip-flops. In VHDL thats just: asign under a clock event: temp <= input; out <= temp; where temp and out are the outputs from the two...

Overclocking is a bit like turbocharging a motor. The problem is that it can easily overheat and burn out, although it will most likely start to make digital mistakes and crash before the CPU becomes toast. The biggest problem is the little errors that are not obvious until you discover them...

As I said in the previous thread, don't bother with windows until your BIOS reads and identifies all your IDE drives. You are just wasting time pissing around in windows. The problem is very likely a physical problem with the cable and connectors. Be sure they are not inverted. There is a tiny...

Ahh guys, You do know that W98 does not support NTFS and NT-4 does not support FAT32 ? Only a FAT16 HDD format will work for iether, and that will be limited to, hmm, I think it was 2G. One great feature of old NT-4 was that the basic I86 OS image depended on the BIOS for I/O, sooo, a basic...

DSL uses the same phone wire to carry frequencies above the audio range. The DSL modem can handle some &quot;stub&quot; interference, but it will work best if there are no branches in your phone line before the DSL modem. All phones must be behind a filter so that they do not load the DSL...

You want at least 2Mpix, some optical zoom, and as consumer reports saz, using AA batteries is a big bonus. At the moment, rechargeable NiMH AA batteries are a much better deal than the alternatives. There are plenty of subtle issues that you will not discover easily. My daughter has a cheap 2M...

If your money is scarce, you want to learn how to refill ink cartridges. The first time I tried this, it was a messy disaster. I didn't understand the importance of air pressure in the cartridge. Seal the bottom with scotch tape while you drill a fill hole in the top and when you are filling...

If the bios is happy with; finds the two drives, then the cables and jumpers are OK. If the BIOS finds a drive but it will not boot, the drive probably has been corrupted or erased, but check for 15/16 sector jumpers that would reorganise the drive sectors, making it &quot;corrupt&quot;.

The Bus-Device-Function refers to the PCI bus. Bus 01 (vs Bus 00) means it's probably some card plugged into a PCI slot. &quot;PCI sniffer&quot; may help. The bios may be confused by old PnP data that is not valid, ie a card has been removed. There is probably a BIOS option to allow this...

As usual, not enough info, but: With a network connection, you can ftp and telnet to the unix system from any PC, and from Unix to the PC if the PC runs ftp and telnet servers in the background. Where I worked until recently, IT had software running, I think on Unix, that emulated, a windows...

I found: http://www.sparkysworld.co.uk/connectors.htm It seems SCART connectors have separate in and out. If you do not have both in and out RCA or S-vid on the other end, the cable is probably a SCART out to s-vid in. I assume you want S-vid out from the PC to SCART in. They show an adapter...

Both add-in PCMCIA slots, and Win98 are an issue. Machines that do not support PCMCIA at the BIOS, ie not part of the motherboard (desktop PC, not a notebook), are prone to strange problems. Typically there are IRQ problems. You could try moving the PCMCIA adapter to a different PCI slot...

Depending how the building is wired, the problem is probably signal distortion due to reflections. High speed signals do not like a bus architecture, nor tree wiring. I wired my phone line directly to the DSL modem only, through a filter, then to all the phones in the house. This puts all the...

Just a stab in the dark: Is it going to your LPT1: port when you want it going to a network printer??? Check the printer settings. cheers, Steve

It never hurts to run DRAM a bit slower, ie use CL2 at CL3. Also note that the bus frequency is part of the equation, ie speed= frequency/latency, so PC2100-CL2 is the same speed as PC3200-CL3, but PC2100 chips may not work with a 200MHz(x2) clock. It's almost certain safe to run PC3200-CL3...

I'll guess that the root of the problem is two copies of the PCMCIA bridge chip driver installed. Some are dual chips, but you may have the same driver installed twice for the same bridge. IO devices can also mirror at two or more addresses. I you view Device manager: Computer: properties: view...
